    You do realise the Duke of Windsor abdicated and was basically exiled by the Royal Family before any of this happened… Right? So how is a guy the Royal Family exiled collaborating with the Nazis relevant to my great grandfather shooting Nazis for King and Country?

      was basically exiled by the Royal Family

      You’d never know it given how he hobnobbed with Churchill and Nixon on the English taxpayer’s dime while living the jet setter celebrity lifestyle until his dying days. His remains lay in state at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.

      Not exactly the hole-in-the-head treatment.

      my great grandfather shooting Nazis for King and Country?

      He was just following orders.

        Hobnobbed it after the war when the Nazis were long defeated… As well as the Nazi plan of throne replacement not being revealed until 2006 🤦

        He was just following orders.

        What, so he just randomly decided to join the army in 1939, and it just so happened that a war was happening at the time? Coincidentally timed 6 year career break? Catch a grip.

          If only. Nazis were back to running West Germany practically before the smoke cleared. And for all the Stalinist rhetoric about summarily executing the top brass, don’t look to hard at what the Stasi on the other side of the Brandenburg Gate were doing before the war. Those fuckers were like fleas. They were all the fuck over the place within a few years of Potsdam. De-Nazification is one of the biggest lies in our history books.

          You’d never even know conscription was a thing.

            No idea what schizo rant you are on about, and doesn’t change the fact that my great grandfather went to Germany to shoot Nazis for King and Country

            You’d never even know conscription was a thing.

            I know for a fact that it wasn’t a thing

              Maybe should have cleaned house first. England was flush with fascism for some time.

              Haha. Okay, dude.

                So you’re saying the UK shouldn’t have joined WWII and you’re trying to ridicule my Great Grandfather for being a badass and blowing Nazi brains out? You’re just a closeted Neo Nazi like the one on this post. My Great Grandfather would have happily detached your head from your body for King and Country 🇬🇧
